Palin in Comparison

Welcome to "The Gods Are Bored," where our magic is white, our faeries are bright, and if you don't like us, we'll punch out your lights!

Sorry about that last part. Just channeling my inner Philadelphian. I've been living near the City of Brotherly Love for more than 20 years, and the general tenor of daily living here has worn off on me.

There are things Philadelphians boo with reason:

1. The Dallas Cowboys (always #1).

2. Last call at the bar.

3. The Schuykill Expressway (richly deserves the razz).

4. Republican politicians.

Which was why Sarah Palin had no business dragging her little daughter to a Philadelphia Flyers game and stuffing the poor tot into a Flyers jersey. If Sarah thought the sight of her little daughter in Flyers orange would deflate the innate Philly hatred of Republican politicians, then she really is a moron of the first stripe.

Hey. You sow hatred like she does, you oughta reap some in return.

A Letter to the Editor from the Philadelphia Inquirer, October 14, 2007:

"Of course Philadelphia fans booed vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. We booed Santa Claus, and he is more qualified to be president than Palin. Don't forget, the North Pole shares a border with Russia."

As someone mentioned elsewhere, it's suprising she didn't drag poor baby Trig out there. I kinda wish Piper had given the fans the finger, bet they would have cheered then. Gotta love Philly! I miss living there. DC's not as "colorful".

i knew you philly fans wouldn't let me down and would boo her..i said the same thing.'hey, the booed santa claus'...they'll boo the kid's mom too..ha.and i love the quote from the philadelphia flyer....there may be hope for you guys yet.
